The Executive Committee (ExCom)
The Executive Committee (ExCom) addresses operational matters that arise in between meetings of the full Board. It acts on behalf of the CI Board between meetings, and ensures the implementation of CI Board decisions. The ExCom oversees the work of the CI Secretariat, maintains an overview of the performance of the CI membership, and, through a number of sub-committees, and oversees the implementation of joint strategic initiatives undertaken by the CI.

The Finance, Audit and Risk Committee (FAR)
The FAR oversees the Secretariat’s budget, financial administration and audit functions, monitors financial performance and risk within CI’s Membership, and recommends to the CI Board financial policies and standards, as appropriate.  The FAR consists of five Board members (including the CI Treasurer), plus one rotating CI Member finance director. The FAR meets at least twice annually in person.

The H.R. Safety and Security Committee (HRSSC)
The HRSSC maintains oversight of staff safety and security across CI. The HRSSC consists of five Board members and the CI Secretary General (non-voting), and meets at least twice annually in person.

The Governance and Nominations Committee (G&N)
The G&N is responsible for identifying and nominating candidates for officer positions within the CI Board (Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and the Treasurer). The G&N oversees the performance of CI’s governance, recommending changes as appropriate to the CI Board, and ensures the maintenance of the CI Statutes. The G&N has up to six members canvassed from within the CI Board by the G&N itself, according to expected future committee turnover. The G&N meets in person twice annually.
